Looks like normal wear to me, as long as it doesn't tear/rip

 

I have this problem and when I noticed it, the car only had 500 miles on it. Just my opinion but it is pathetic that the seats do this when the car was 1 week old. I am very disappointed with the quality of the bolster in question. By the way, I am not fat, I'm 6' 1" and 175lb. Between the grill defect, the seat heater problem and the seat bolster, I am not satisfied right now with Infiniti.

 

After looking at the picture kewlta, I have to agree with Speeed and Carfreak. Those wrinkles look very normal to me. I don't think I have ever seen leather that didn't wear like that. Just keep leather conditioner applied on a regular basis to prevent cracking and you'll be fine.

 

LOL, who would of thunk the two had such similiarities.

 

Agree that it will wear over time. But I also agree with slo poke in that it shouldn't happen within the first week of ownership. I've had passengers quite a bit now and that seat seems to be holding up ALOT better, and I'm almost positive that they are not taking their time and care to get in/out of the seat as I am (I try to "hop" in and out over the bolster)

 

I currently have 700 miles and i've been noticing it on mine for a few hundred miles. I'm a mere 144 pounds, so its not my weight, and i too try to "hop" over it when i get in. I've been regularly using leather conditioner, and it really hasn't worsened any.

Unfortunately, it seems "normal"

 

I guess it's the trade off for 'supple' leather and 'rock hard chafe your a$$ kinda leather'

 

+1

Leather is a natural skin, it will have lines and creases and it can happen very quickly. The alternative would be to us a man made fabric like vinyl or apply a chemical process to the outside of the leather that will harden it and prevent creasing. I'll take the soft supple leather any day.

 

Whoa... that's too much!
You can harm the leather by using too much treatment.

leather care.... there's tons of info out there.

 

Is that a cream or a spray? Does it come with a MF cloth or do I need to buy one??

 

---LOL. Sounds messy.

 

Just lower the car ... your feet won't have to reach down as far as you get in or out!

Works for me!

 

Old-school leather guy here.

Just judging from the pictures, it looks like normal wrinkling. Leather has to be expected to wrinkle and "butt-buff" to some extent due to the nature of the material. Side bolster scuffing is also hard to avoid. I actually like that leather does this as it tends to personalize the car a bit. As long as you keep the hide clean and moisturized it should last a long time regardless of the wrinkles. It also helps to protect the interior (all surfaces) from the sun as much as possible. I always use a folding sunshade when parked outside...it's pretty much a necessity here the south.

Enjoy your new G.

 

that is normal for leather seats on all sport seats i've ever had (audi or bmw, etc.)... i PREFER the lived-in look anyways
